"...He is the splendor of His Father, ..."

[MariaChristi]

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

We continue today, Chapter 11 of St. Louis de Montfort’s book, “The Love of Eternal Wisdom”. Friday is a day when some of us are very mindful of the need to offer Reparation to the Heart of Christ, Who has emptied Himself for love of us and yet receives so little in return. As we ponder the words of St. Louis de Montfort, let us offer Jesus our little hearts with Great Love; let us offer ourselves in union with the Immaculate Heart of our Mother Who is always so pleasing to Him.

1. How beautiful, meek and charitable is Jesus, the incarnate Wisdom! Beautiful from all eternity, He is the splendor of His Father, the unspotted mirror and image of His goodness. He is more beautiful than the sun and brighter than light itself. He is beautiful in time, being formed by the Holy Spirit pure and faultless, fair and immaculate, and during His life He charmed the eyes and hearts of men and is now the glory of the angels. How loving and gentle He is with men, and especially with poor sinners whom He came upon earth to seek out in a visible manner, and whom He still seeks in an invisible manner every day.
2. Do you think that Jesus, now that He is triumphant and glorious, is any the less loving and condescending? On the contrary, His glory, as it were, perfects His kindness. He wishes to appear forgiving rather than majestic, to show the riches of His mercy rather than the gold of His glory.

Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Your faithful. Kindle in us the Fire of Your Love. Jesus we trust in You. Mary, Mother and Model of the Church, pray for us.
